Stocks.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The stock market
to-day was shade more active, but the
temper Of speculation was not so bullish as
yesterday, though the market showed a
firm undertone throughout. London did
very little and the bull leaders were In
clined to let well enough alone, so that the
disposition Of the traders to force re-
action, though unsuccessful, served to keep
prices, as a rule, down to the level OF last
nights figures. The good feeling existing
last evening, however, was still powerful
this morning, and the market responded
quickly to the higher London quotations.
Rumors were current that the Delaware
and Hudson dividend would be ia.
creased, and that stock was prominently
strong, the other coalers sharing In the
Improvement. The southern stocks were
also fsvorites, and late In the day Union
Pacific moved up.
The bears again selected Missouri Pacific
to break the list, and by persistent ham
meriDg depressed It's price ~ per cent
from the opening figure. Little impres
sion, however, was made upon the general
list until late in the day, when the early
advances were wiped out IN many cases.
The best prices Of the day we're recorded
about 2 p. m. The market closed quiet
but heavy at close to opening figures as o
general thing. Prices are irregular as
compared with those Of last evening, and
are about equally divided between gains
and Losses generally for fractions only.

from to a. last loan at 8, aud closing
